“Santiago took such great care of our dogs over the weekend! He sent us tons of picture updates, gave them lots of playtime, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend him!”
“Excellent care of our pets. We came home to happy pets. Lila went above and beyond, staying up late caring for our Maggie during fireworks and a severe thunderstorm. We will gladly book again.”
About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.

“Veronika was able to handle my very shy Chihuahua without any difficulty during a two day stay at my home. Veronika is capable, trustworthy and kind. I would rehire her without any hesitation.”

“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
About: I love pets of all kind & have many years of experience with them! It brings me great joy to care for pets as though they are my own.

About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life and have always been a huge dog lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of friends and family, ensuring they’re happy, well-exercised, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the unique needs of different pets and always strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping a home safe and tidy, I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m eager to provide peace of mind to pet owners while traveling and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I am currently working part time at a health food restaurant in Boulder. I work about 4-5 hour shifts and often get breaks. I am happy to take on more work by housesitting or dog walking, in between, or outside of my scheduled hours. My schedule is flexible and well-aligned to where I could often be at home with your babies giving them all the love and attention they need. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I’m a very clean, responsible and loving human and look forward to sharing some love with your furry ones.
“Maria did an incredible job with our somewhat tricky older cat! I would 100% recommend Maria. She’s fantastic!! Bonus - our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left!! She’s the best.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether it’s a bouncy pup who needs play or a senior dog who deserves patience and a softer pace. I just want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am available full time and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs, giving them consistent attention, playtime, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. In my care, they get a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine.” In client homes, I respect your space and follow your dog’s normal routine, making sure they have fresh water, a comfy place to rest, and, of course, lots of love and supervision
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Last year Sweet Pea had to stay a week at the dog kennel which left her a nervous wreck. What a difference this year! After over 2 weeks with McKenna, but in her familiar surrounding and routine, she behaved totally normal. As is typical for cats, Smidgen kitty was a little shy for a few days, but then warmed up to McKenna for play and petting. McKenna kept our house and yard in good shape as well. When problems arose with the animals or our old house, McKenna contacted me how I wanted her to handle it, then did it without hesitation. When my wife was longing to see Sweet Pea, McKenna even drove our dog to/from the rehab facility a couple of times. McKenna is very compassionate with animals and humans alike. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our dogs and home. He kept us up to date daily with pictures and texts how the dogs were doing. He was also very responsive to is as well. When we got home, the dogs were happy and well taken care of. We already rebooked Matt for our next trip. I highly recommend.”

Sarah took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent us several check-ins along the way and was especially thoughtful with one of our dogs who gets anxious during thunderstorms. She also left our house neat and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nederland is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nederland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Nederland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Nederland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Nederland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
